Description
Mrs. Oliphant wrote this tale, first put out in three books in January 1894. A cheap shape in one book came out that May. The tale opens in the town of Watcham. It is not a town in the plain sense of the word, the first page says, yet it is a sweet place. Folk who come on its small pier by the stream, or drive through its old green, call it a sweet town at sight.
Some of its homes look as if they had stepped out of the age two past, and some as if from the books of cuts for the young. It is a town of fine small homes. In them live a great count of folk who have claims to rank but are poor. Some have no such claims and are poor all the same.
